I thank my lucky stars the day the social worker at St. Catherine's rehab referred me to Jennifer. She has been a God send to me and my mom. Please don't let that woman get away from you and your organization. Even though she has been on vacation somewhere out in the wild west, she has stayed in contact with me making sure that my transition to home health care with Always Best Care has gone smoothly and that I've gotten all the information that I need to help my mom. Jennifer's care and concern has helped us through what has been a very difficult but joyous time. My mom and I have rediscovered each other while facing the challenges of dealing with all the health care and financial needs that she faces. All through this Jennifer has been a strong guiding force. She knows things that other social workers from other agencies that have visited us have no clue about. Regards,

I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed Cindy and how very good she was -- very professional, competent and assisted me so well. Just like Sheri, she anticipated what I needed and would not let me overdo, insisting that I sit on my walker while she finished shopping for the last 4 items on my list. She did an outstanding job and worked so hard bringing the groceries into the building and then up to our apartment. It was a big shopping trip!!! I hope I didn't exhaust her. I will definitely ask for her again to help, especially with grocery shopping. She is a very thrifty shopper and I appreciated her suggestions! Thanks again for providing the perfect service for me. You do an incredible job screening and selecting caregivers. I do appreciate having such professional, reliable, personable and fun young ladies to help me. I don't know what I would do without all of you. Thank you for being there. ~ Mary

Thank you so much for all your help with finding an assisted living facility for my father. Now the hard part is leaving him there. I know he is not going to understand what is going on. You are truly our guardian angel. When we had given up all hope, we were put in touch with Always Best Care. We could have never found an affordable place that could meet my father’s health needs without you. Well, once again thank you both for helping us, you guys are the best." ~ Silvesteri H., Jacksonville FL
